Objective To investigate the nutritional status and its influencing factors in elderly patients with severe stroke using the Global Leadership Initiative on Malnutrition(GLIM)diagnostic criteria.Methods A total of 112 elderly patients with severe stroke who met the criteria and were admitted to a grade A tertiary hospital in Hefei from March to October 2023 were selected as study subjects.The nutritional status of the pa-tients was evaluated using the GLIM criteria,and general information,blood routine,and biochemical indica-tors were collected,and Logistic regression analysis was performed to identify the influencing factors.Results The incidence of malnutrition among the 112 elderly patients with severe stroke was 42.86％(48/112),with a severe malnutrition rate of 9.82％(11/112).Logistic regression analysis revealed that age(OR=0.884),body mass index(BMI)(OR=1.921),history of diabetes(OR=0.238),serum albumin(OR=2.603),and hemoglobin(OR=1.400)were independent influencing factors for malnutrition in elderly patients with severe stroke(P＜0.05).Conclusion The incidence of malnutrition is high among elderly patients with se-vere stroke,suggesting that clinical healthcare professionals should strengthen nutritional screening and assess-ment of these patients and develop intervention programs based on risk factors to improve their nutritional sta-tus and prognosis.
